A Review on the Catalytic Hydrogenation of Bromate in Water Phase

The presence of bromate in water sources generates environmental concern due to its toxicity for humans. Diverse technologies, like membranes, ion exchange, chemical reduction, etc., can be employed treat bromate-polluted but they produce waste that must treated. An alternative these technologies the catalytic reduction bromide using hydrogen as a reducing agent. In this review, we analyze research published about technology. Specifically, summarize and discuss state knowledge related (1) different metals used catalysts reaction; (2) influence support on activity; (3) characterization catalysts; (4) reaction mechanisms; (5) composition activity catalyst stability. Based papers, strength weaknesses technique possibilities treatment sustainable process.
